Harvey Korman 1927- 2008

Part of being a child of the 60’s and 70’s was growing up with The Carol Burnett Show. I always looked forward to that show and Harvey Korman was one of the reasons. I was so sad to come home from Die! Mommie, Die! to find that Mr. Korman had passed away. He was 81. [...]

My Way of Life

4 glorious days off in a row! How wonderful that was. Mere mortals would have relaxed but I had a show to do! The show- Saturday was interesting. Our Lance didn’t show up until an hour into the play- something about a martian abduction, but our Stage Manager, Brian Guerrerro saved the day by filling [...]

My Fat Way of Life

Brigitte sent me a link to the top ten State Fair food and if you ever wondered why the US is the fattest nation on the world, then wonder no more.

My Way of Life

I have been remiss in posting just because well, there’s so much going on. Die Mommie, Die is going well , but I always want more. I guess it’s the addict in me. The Birds spoiled me! I truly love playing Angela Arden and it’s great being a lead but I love being a supporting [...]

My Way of Life

I was unexpectedly exhausted yesterday so I spent the evening at home and had dinner and TV night with Chris. I was crushed Sunday because I missed part two of my new favorite mini-series Cranford on Masterpiece Theater. It’s a very funny and moving look at old English village in the midst of change and [...]
